Software :: Mencoder And The Lost Icons?
May 26, 2010
I edited some mpeg videos using Mencoder to crop unwanted footage from the beginning and the end. It worked, but now the file does not have a "visual" icon, i.e. a still from the video. The properties of the new file also reveal that it thinks it's an audio file! The file still plays (as a video) okay though.A typical command I used to extract just the first 14 seconds of the video was:
mencoder "e03.mpg" -o ee03a.mpg -ss 0:0:0 -endpos 0:0:14 -oac copy -ovc copyI did try to make up a new icon by making a snapshot of the movie playing, then using the image to replace the icon in the properties window. (I am using Nautilus file manager in Ubuntu). The icon it now gives me looks like a small sheet of paper with one end curled up.I can appreciate that editing the video length might have "lost" the icon information, but is there any way I can put it back again

I killed a Process from the System Monitor, it was something related to notifications. From that time, I'm not getting any notification icons on the top-bar. It doesn't shows me any application icons. like VLC, XCHAT or even the Active Connection icon. Except that, everything is working as like a fresh install. I'd restarted my system later but it's still the same. I want to restore the system.

I installed Ubuntu 11.04 on a usb stick and have been running it from there. I was messing around with the "Login Screen" utility and changed the session choice to "User defined session" (or something similar). I thought this would allow me to pick the session to use (Unity, Gnome) but that was wrong. So right now, when I login, I have a blank screen with no menu bars. If someone could give me the commandline command to run the "Login Screen", I should be able to switch it back.

I have lost some icons from my desktop, they are, firefox, yast, thunderbird, emacs, the space and the names are still there, and when I hover the mouse over the space, it is highlighted as it should be. The application opens and runs as normal when I click on the space where the icon should be. The icons are also missing from the favorites bar on the left side and also from the panel top left when the app is running.I have tried, rebuilding the icon cache in 'usr/share/icons/hicolor', and also all othercon caches for that matter, and no difference. I tried uninstalling and installing the app, no differenence. I tried changing themes and icons from Tweak Tool, no difference. As far as I can see the icons are there in the hicolor directory

After upgrading from 10.10 to 11.04, at first everything worked fine. Then i changed the compiz configuration to cube, confirmed some questions, and now i have no window decorations. No icons for close, minimize, maximize. No resizing by mouse. No title bar.
In the launcher, i lost applications and files&?, and in the top menu bar, i lost the leftmost part, where some menus and the Ubuntu icon were found.

I installed Ubuntu 10.04 using wubi.exe and after I rebooted back into Windows 7, all my desktop icons are gone, everything, including folders and/or files. I go to the Desktop folder and see my items, so I can at least access the files, but nothing appears on my desktop at all

I already restored regular icons by going to gconf. However, the icons on top right where the "power" button is located, still have no icons. Is there any way to add icons to the hibernate/ shut down , etc words?

i am using ubuntu 8.04.I wanted to clip from a movie so I ran
Code:
mencoder -ss 2453 -endpos 34 InpuTFile -acodec copy -vcodec copy -o Output
I changed the ss value still it cut from same frame of the video.It seems mencoder works faster than ffmpeg but jumps to keyframe hence cannot jump to accurately specified second.

I have found that if I change the FPS of a video, the audio is out of sync.
Is there a way in mencoder to have it correct this, and maintain the correct sync?
I don't think it is just a matter of audio/video delay. I have tried many times to correct this via that method, and it doesn't come close. Although, if I encode the video to another format, but with the original fps, the audio is sync'd.

A recent update to ffmpeg, in which I've learned was an upgrade to the restricted ffmpeg as opposed to the unrestricted default one that is in the official repos, has now made it unable for me to use mplayer or Devede. Reading up about this, especially from here: [URL].. I have learned it's a frequent problem when installing the restricted ffmpeg. Basically what Devede says at startup is:
Code:
Cant's find the following programs:
mplayer
mencoder
Devede needs them to work. If you want to use Devede, you must install all of them. Using the terminal to open mplayer (or mencoder), I get this error: mplayer: relocation error: mplayer: symbol codec_wav_tags, version LIBAVFORMAT_52 not defined in file libavformat.so.52 with link time reference From my research, seems as though the problem lies in libavformat52 not being installed (or removed) and libavformat-extra-52 is installed, which is the same thing, but because it's the restricted version, it is called something different. Anybody know if that is correct?
Also, checking up, libavformat-unstripped-52 isn't installed but available, so should I install that to replace the missing libavformat52, as when I sudo aptitude install libavformat52, it says it conflicts with libavformat-extra-52?
I installed libavformat-unstripped-52, which didn't conflict with the already installed libavformat-extra-52, just to see if it would basically just replace the missing libavformat52, which conflicted with libavformat-extra-52 and couldn't be installed safely, but after I did, nothing changed. I still get the same error with opening Devede and mplayer (or mencoder) in the terminal.

I have an 8Gb mkv file, which I tried to encode to avi using mencoder, it took more than 6hrs and when completed, the quality of the avi was pretty poor.Is there a way to increase the quality or is there a program that can encode mkv files? The mkv will not play on my system without stuttering badly.

I was just wondering if it is possible to output an encoding file to http, mms, udp etc... (eg. http://127.0.0.1).I found a way to input these streams and encode them I just cant find a command to output to these.

I recorded a TV show on my pc using mythbuntu software (ubuntu version of mythtv). It cut out all the commercials and then transcoded it to a nice 40 min nuv file that I put onto a usb thumb drive. Now it's portable and vlc can play the file...on a pc. I want to burn it onto a DVD so I can put it in any NTSC DVD player. Also, the file was recorded at 480x480 and I want to change the size to widescreen (16:9). Additionally, the top of the screen recorded a thin horizontal line of junk that needs to be deleted.
Now, I've googled around and found this line in ffmpeg that should work:
ffmpeg -i V-RedSky.nuv -croptop 4 -y -target ntsc-dvd -sameq -aspect 16:9 RedSky.mpg
The new 16:9 video size is great, the annoying horizontal line got cropped, and I got a nice mpg file...but the audio is now out of sync. I tried ffmpeg with fewer options and the audio still got out of sync.
So, I'm thinking I should try different software. Maybe mencoder. How could I put the above ffmpeg options into mencoder?

I'm trying to convert OGG clip to avi using mencoder:
Code:
mencoder myclip.ogg -ovc lavc -oac mp3lame -o myclip.avi
It works OK except that while the original clip has 16:9 aspect ration, the resulting AVI is 4:3

I'm trying to convert a video in .ogm format to .avi format so I can stream it to my PS3 via uShare. I'm using Mencoder and the following command to do it (to transcode the audio from vorbis to mp3 and the video from mpeg4 to xvid):
Code: mencoder input.ogm -oac mp3lame -ovc xvid -xvidencopts pass=1 -o output.avi.The only problem is, the video contains 2 audio streams - one Japanese and one English. Needless to say, I need the English one. The above command only seems to transcode the Japanese audio though!Here's what ffmpeg has to say about the input file:
Code:
Input #0, ogg, from 'input.ogm':
Duration: 00:24:16.12, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 1280 kb/s[code]...
what I can do to specify the correct audio stream to encode? Also, how can I keep the bitrate the same as the output.avi seems to default to 96kbps?I'm not sure which audio stream is which but a little trial and error will sort that out in no time.

So I typically use cat to put my avi files together.. but today I figure lets see about ripping over so I can watch on my Droid.
As nobody has a xvid or vlc player on the droid (yet.. coders are doing alot for Android ya know) I will have to convert the video down and change the format.. So.. can anybody tell me a mencoder command line directive to get as close to this as possible (I found ipod settings leave the actual video lacking).
Video
Format MP4
Encoder H.264
Resolution 854 x 480 (or 720 x 480; 480 x 320; 320 x 240)
Frame Rate 12 fps - 30 fps
